The Carpathian Beast is a mystic crimi/drama mini-series set in Kysuce, the region in north-west Slovakia, near the Czech and Polish border. We deal with “small” crimes (theft, bribery, domestic violence, bullying, drugs, etc.), which are consequences of the social-economic-political situation; they are resolved at the end of each episode. At the same time the individual episodes develop the main dramatic line for all seven parts – the story of a mythical beast, which attacks people and kills them brutally. The main character Petra (38 years old teacher) has just returned to work after her maternity leave. She is seemingly normal, rational woman with a nice family life and she denies any connection with the cases, but she comes to understand that her connection with the Beast has it’s roots in Petra’s own past. She must accept her whole self, including her wild sides. She must rediscover forgotten childhood gifts in order to stop the actions of the Beast.
